Welcome to St. Joseph's Helpers!
More than just a 501(c)(3) nonprofit home repair service, St. Joseph's Helpers is a Christian based organization which connects those in need with caring volunteers who offer not only practical assistance with small, safety-related home repairs, but also companionship, encouragement, and a sense of fellowship. Our mission is rooted in service, support, and building lasting community connections. We serve communities in Southeastern Michigan and Central Kentucky.
Our staff and volunteers are the beating heart of St. Joseph’s Helpers! These selfless, dedicated volunteers offer their time and talents to help us accomplish our mission. We currently serve Southeastern Michigan communities and Central Kentucky. Please call us at 800.303.5075 or email sjh@sjhelpers.org if you'd like to help!
For the protection of both our volunteers and residents, St. Joseph’s Helpers is insured, and all of our volunteers undergo a thorough background check.
We are honored to be awarded the Platinum Transparency 2025 Seal from Candid Guidestar!
This Seal is awarded to organizations that share clear and important information with the public about goals, strategies, capabilities, achievements and progress that highlight the difference we make in the world. To earn the Platinum Seal of Transparency, we have also completed the Bronze, Silver, and Gold requirements.
Before becoming the Executive Director of St. Joseph’s Helpers, Rayna lived in a small town outside of Chicago, where she gained extensive experience in the senior care field. Her roles included Social Service Director and Assistant Executive Director, which provided her with a deep understanding of the needs of both clients and staff.
Rayna is grateful for the opportunity to be part of the vibrant community at St. Joseph’s Helpers. She finds fulfillment in working alongside both the individuals being served and the volunteers who dedicate their time and care.
Her guiding philosophy is simple: “If you focus on the good, the good becomes better.”
